Sanioglu Takes Two

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Ekrem Sanioglu raised to 25,000 from the cutoff and Joao Simao called in the small blind. On the {A-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} flop, Simao checked and Sanioglu got through with a bet of 125,000.

One hand later, Sanioglu raised to 18,000 and Philipp Gruissem defended the big blind. Sanioglu joked "flush" and Gruissem smiled back. The flop came {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{7-Spades} and Gruissem checked, then folded to Sanioglu's bet worth 55,000. Sanioglu flashed the {A-Hearts} and raked in another pot to take the lead on the money bubble.

The two shortest stacks are Igor Kurganov and Timothy Adams, who also happen to be on Sanioglu's table.
